Books are Violent by The Amazing World of Gumball Lyrics
[Part 1: Pop Version]
[Music Intro]
[Verse 1: Gumball, Colin & Darwin]
Everybody read a book, wreak havoc across the nation
C'mon just have a look, there's such violent inspiration
"Lord of the Flies" is a book each parent cherishes!
The feral kids survive, but the one with glasses perishes!
If you want more blood and guts, give Shakespeare's plays a try
In "Titus Andronicus," a mother gets her son served up in a pie
[Skit: Billy & Felicity]
You did this to me, mother!
Aaah!
[Verse 2: Banana Joe & Penny]
Legends, myths and fairy tales
Will make their readers shriek and wail
"Red Riding Hood" is pretty bizarre
Where a wolf dresses up as a girl's grandma
[Verse 3: Alan & Gumball]
I've read Greek myths just like you sir
When they get beheaded, like Medusa
And I read "Tortoise and the Hare,"
A tale of torture and despair!
[Skit: Gumball & Darwin]
FIGHT!
You haven't read that one, have you?
Er... no
[Verse 4: Tobias]
If you read Dickens' "Oliver Twist,"
You'd shut the library door and lock it!
It's all about these homeless kids who learnt how to "pickpocket"!
[Skit: Felicity & Gumball]
Okay, I get it, that's enough!
Fiction should be banned!
But history books are just as bad!
Perhaps a rap will help you understand!
(Juke, hit it.)
[Part 2: Rap Version]
[Beatboxing: Juke]
[Verse: Gumball with Penny]
It's just words, words, words
Cover to cover
Bound with a spine, word to your mother
But books are the same, every story
To video games, they're just as gory
Romeo, oh Romeo, Romeo is your homie-o
[Outro: Gumball, with All students]
To be or not to be, that's the question for a G!
"Huck Finn's Adventures" by Mark Twain.
All these books are driving me insane
So who should really get the blame?
Are books as bad as video-games?
